You can rename or delete files within the OpenOffice.org dialogs, just as you can in your usual file manager. However, you cannot copy or paste files within the dialogs.

Renaming a file

To rename a file while using OpenOffice.org:

  1. Choose File > Open and browse to the required file.
  2. Right-click on the file name and choose Rename. The file name will be selected.
  3. Typing replaces the selected name, or use a left or right arrow key to move the insertion point to modify the existing name.

Deleting a file

To delete a file while using this dialog:

  1. Right-click on the file name to display a context menu.
  2. Click Delete, and you will get a confirmation dialog.
